Spain's Idyllic Mediterranean Island
From the moment you ease your bike onto the road, you'll feel it: Mallorca's irresistible allure. Maybe it's the heavenly climate of this sunny Mediterranean isle. Or the rugged Serra de Tramuntana, with its precipitous peaks and plunging gorges. The nearly deserted back roads, where vigorous climbs and curlicue descents thrill cyclists of all persuasions - including the pros. Maybe it's the forgotten valleys, where pine forests and ancient olive trees thrive and medieval monasteries keep watch over centuries-old villages. Or the shimmering sea fringed by secret pebble beaches…. Welcome to Mallorca. Fall in love with it all.

Guests Reviews About This Trip
Mallorca could be my favorite trip with Backroads! The countryside was just gorgeous, the hills were challenging, the food delicious. The expert support the leaders provided was the best ever.- Santa Fe, NM
When asked which Backroads trip has been my favorite, I usually say my last one. Even though Mallorca isn't my last trip, this one may be my favorite for a long time. I love that the terrain varies from day to day, the food is fabulous, and the motorists on the island are very bike-friendly.- Clyde Hill, WA
That might be the best trip ever. I loved it so much I would even do the same trip again. :) Your process, people and planning were top-notch. Thank you!- Raleigh, NC
